Jennifer Hudson: My Engagment Story

Labels:

A newly engaged Jennifer Hudson lands at JFK airport in New York City early Monday morning.

The 27-year-old singer/actress recently described her and attorney David Otunga’s engagement story: “It was a big deal… I got a beautiful ring and I got him. I had no clue at all… We went to the beach during the day and he blindfolded me… and he gave me a purple shovel, because purple’s my favorite color… and I had to dig. I ended up digging through all this sand. When I found it, it was like a bunch of beautiful cards… one related to the other, and the last one said, ‘Look around, take the moment in, turn around and I have a gift for you.’”

Tomorrow, Jennifer will release her self-titled debut album.

Happy Birthday, Dita Von Teese!

Labels:

Dita Von Teese, who turned 36 yesterday, shops around Paris, France with a female friend on Saturday.

The burlesque queen launched her new WonderBra line last week. Here are some tips she gave to Telegraph readers on how to look good in underwear:

“Turn the Lights Down Low” — The real secret to looking great in lingerie? Good lighting. I’m not in bad shape, but it’s still the most important thing. Lighting is one of the most carefully calculated parts of any burlesque show, and after 15 years of performing I know what looks good and what doesn’t. Soft pink light is far and away the most flattering. Overhead light can be harsh and unflattering, so opt for mid-level instead. Or just turn them down - I have dimmer switches in every room of my home!
